Jungle Juice's roasted dark ale — textured without heaviness, smooth and approachable with coffee and chocolate notes. Mahogany-brown with a persistent tan head; the nose is lightly roasted with dark chocolate and a subtle coffee richness. On the palate the body is smooth and medium-full with malty depth and a pleasantly bitter, clean finish — the dark alternative from Rome's most exciting craft brewery taproom.
